INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION INVITES APPLICATIONS FOR MASTERS DEGREE
(please, feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested...
)
Masters Degree in Intercultural Communication at the University of Jyväskylä is a two-year interdisciplinary course of study designed to enhance the professional communication competence of students preparing for careers which involve significant intercultural contact.
The studies encompass 80-120 ECTS credits depending on the student's previous studies. Students need to complete an internship of 2-3 months and a Masters Thesis for their degree. In addition to courses on Intercultural Communication and Intercultural Competence, students may focus on issues related to intercultural and international relations, intercultural education and training, communication, language and semiotics, multiculturalism in organisations and society, and area studies.
Successful applicants should hold a Bachelors Degree or equivalent in a relevant field and a proven intercultural orientation demonstrated e.g. through previous studies, work experience, voluntary work, other relevant life experiences. Relevant study backgrounds for applicants include degrees in the field of Humanities, Education, Social Sciences and Business Studies. Previous studies in Communication subjects are an asset. The language of instruction is English, therefore a good command of English is required (TOEFL +550 paper/+213 computer-based or IELTS 6.0 or above).
A limited number of students will also be accepted to participate in Eurocampus - an international study period organised annually in cooperation with European partner universities within the EMICC-network. Eurocampus 2006 takes place in the autumn semester and is held in Universidade Aberta, Lisboa, Portugal. For more information about the Eurocampus, visit www.jyu.fi/viesti/en/emicc_info.php In applying for the Masters Degree in Intercultural Communication, applicants should indicate whether they also wish to participate in the Eurocampus.
The deadline for applications is 31st January 2006. For further information and the application, please see the Department of Communication webpage at: www.jyu.fi/viesti/en/ic_info.php
and yes, it is the programme I 'm studying in.
